McConnell’s 5 Year Old Irish Whisky / Sherry Cask

70cl / 46% / Distillery Bottling – A five-year-old sherry-finished whisky from the Belfast-based McConnell’s brand. The whisky is a blend of Irish malt and Irish single grain whisky which is first aged in first-fill bourbon barrels, before a period of around six months in sherry casks. McConnell’s started life in Belfast in the 1800s, eventually opening its own distillery. The resurrected brand hopes to bring distilling back to the city one day.
